Solid construction

Like the original OM-D E-M5 before it, the E-M1 features a classically inspired design and weather sealed construction. The OM-D range is the place where the past and future meet, with expertly crafted modern imaging equipment that isn't afraid to borrow from the past.

Phase & Contrast detection AF

One of the most noticeable qualities of the E-M1 is the brilliantly speedy autofocus. Phase-detection and contrast detection autofocus are both utilised, depending on what range of lens is being used - the E-M1 is well equipped to handle anything you throw at it. This best of both worlds technology uses 81 contrast and 37 phase-detection autofocus points.

5-Axis Image Stabilisation

Whether you are shooting stills or taking advantage of the Full HD resolution movie on offer, the E-M1’s stunning 5-axis image stabilisation will be a welcome addition, to say the least. Feel confident to shoot at lower shutter speeds than you previously felt possible and stay out shooting after the sun goes down - this camera will produce sharp pictures, free from motion blur.

Large high-resolution LCD & EVF

In another best of both worlds situation, the E-M1 allows you freedom of composition in the form of a large, tilting, touch-sensitive LCD and a stunningly high resolution live EVF. With 2.36 million dot resolution and 0.74x magnification this EVF is a wonder to look through; whether you are shooting in bright sunshine or a dark interior, the viewfinder will automatically adjust, thanks to adaptive brightness technology.

16 Megapixel Live MOS sensor

With all of the exciting new features that a modern day camera includes, it is easy to overlook the most important function. What do the pictures look like? Needless to say, the Olympus OM-D E-M1 has this area well and truly covered. Thanks to the TruePic VII image processor and 16 megapixel Live MOS sensor the E-M1 captures beautiful, detailed photos in any situation.
